Just create a create a ChanchalPanel class that extends JPanel.

in your constructor set up a layout manager.

add the JTextField and JButton.

hook up some listeners.

Now instantiate an instance of the ChanchalPanel and add it to some
bigger container and eventually validate the whole shebang and
setVisible( true ).

For something that simple, you might use a JOptionPane if you just
want it to pop up and go away.
